The Mazda 3 Steering Wheel translates the movement of the driver's hands into the exact movement of the front tires, which provides the driver with a sense of certainty in the control of the vehicle. The wheel provides rotary input through the steering gear using a direct mechanical connection such as rack-and-pinion, with or without the aid of hydraulic or computer-guided electric assist, both wheels swing together with minimal effort. The system strikes a balance between road feel and comfort in normal Mazda models. Initial designs applied primarily hydraulic power to do the lighter turning at parking speeds, but later Mazda designs added a form of electric assistance to reduce engine load and to change the effort in real time, although in either case the simpler circular rim and spoke design remained common. The Steering Wheel is also known as a driving wheel or hand wheel and is constructed to handle the normal stress in everyday use, but extreme force or continuous city traffic may accelerate wear. Generation 3 models had the same long-lasting diameter, but newer models feature additional buttons for either audio or cruise functionality, not a mechanical redesign. On the whole, the Steering Wheel in a modern Mazda ensures that the car is always straight in the direction and provides the driver with a comfortable grip on every journey.
